Introducing our Wagyu Rump Cap Picanha!

The Wagyu rump cap, also known as picanha, is a rare find in the UK but a prized cut elsewhere. Its distinct triangular shape is easily recognisable, sourced from the top part of the rump. What sets this cut apart is its generous layer of fat, which naturally bastes the meat during cooking, ensuring an exceptionally juicy and flavourful result.

This Kobe-style Wagyu rump cap is remarkably tender (BMS 4-5), offering a melt-in-the-mouth experience that far surpasses ordinary beef. The marbling of fat within the meat enhances its rich, buttery flavour, making every bite a luxurious indulgence. Moreover, this Wagyu rump cap provides excellent value for money, allowing you to savour premium quality beef without breaking the bank.
